All the Power Rangers TV shows revisited The new Power Rangers movie will hit theaters this Friday. While the franchise may be on the big screen yet again, the characters have a long history on television. The Power Rangers TV shows in America began in 1993 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and take a lot of their footage from the Japanese tokusatsu Super Sentai (A tokusatsu series is one with a lot of special effects.) There are over 20 different seasons and versions of the show, with TV movies aplenty.
